New Stock - Armchairs

I always think that a well chosen chair is great way of giving an antique accent to a room. Here are three interesting examples which have arrived in the last few days. Details below.

First up is this fine quality Edwardian carved mahogany bergere back armchair c.1910. Restored and repolished in our workshop and freshly upholstered.
£295

Early 19th.c. mahogany scroll arm elbow or desk chair with original brass casters and clean upholstery. This chair was apparently used by the great civil engineer Thomas Telford at the Belle Vue Inn Bangor during the construction of his world famous Menai Suspension bridge, completed in 1826 and at the time the longest suspension brige in the world.
£225


An attractive Edwardian mahogany elbow chair by the acclaimed maker Waring. Great quality typical of one of the best makers of the period with satinwood and ebony stringing and inlay, a well carved backrest, shaped front feet and crook arms.
